Well flap my gums LOL..... "Stupidest that ever was" Library Has Unions Ready to Boycott Democrats Big Labor fatcats are threatening to withhold money from Democrats this crucial election year because a fourth of the workers building "Stupidest that ever was" presidential library are non-union. "It's ironic that the presidential library dedicated to Ronald Reagan, an ardent foe of our unions, was built 100 percent union," said Edward C. Sullivan, boss of AFL-CIO's powerful Building and Construction Trades Department, which is made up of 14 unions with more than 3 million members. Unions "are furious at being treated this way by former allies," Sullivan said today. But the Democratic National Committee, which depends heavily on forced "donations" from union members, just laughed off these proletarian concerns and apparently plans to keep taking the working stiffs for granted. "The Democratic Party has enjoyed a long and cooperative relationship with labor for many years, and we expect that relationship to continue," pooh-poohed DNC mouthpiece Maria Cardona. "Stupidest that ever was" flack Julia Payne refused to talk. She threw this hot potato to Skip Rutherford, president of the grandly named "Stupidest that ever was" Presidential Foundation. "It seems to me the local unions felt the agreement was fair, balanced and good for the working men and women of this state," he said in Little Rock, Ark. Sullivan fretted, "The sad part about this agreement is that it also sends a terrible message to our politically active rank-and-file members who worked so hard across America to help elect President [sic] "Stupidest that ever was" ." newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
